VALVE.- 1 I Application filed August 6, 1923. Serial No. 655,797.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SiiLiG SIMON, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Valve, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to valves.

An object of the invention is to provide a valve of a minimum number of parts designed and adapted for use to retain air under compression and which embodies a structure that will prevent leakage of the air.

Another object of the invention is to provide a valve of the type mentioned comprising two parts, one of which is screwed within the other and each having an air passage therethrough, in combination with 'means whereby a perfect seal is formed when the two parts are in closed position, and means for preventing separation of said parts.

Other objects will appear from the 'fol` lowing description, reference being made to the drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved valve.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the valve in open adjustment.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View of the valve closed.

One part of the valve includes a stem 1 having a flanged head 2 for engagement with a tube or hose 3. Said part has a barr rel 4 at the opposite end which is internally threaded and communicates with a passage` 5 opening to the stem 1 and into the tube or hose 3. The barrel 4 has a knurled or spotted part 6 for manual engagement when the valve is being opened or closed.

4An elastic gasket 7 is seated against the inner end of the barrel 4 and has a hole therethrough communicating with the passage 5. Preferably the gasket 7 is engaged the threads within the barrel and is thereby held from displacement when the valve is open.

The other part of the valve comprises a` stem including a threaded portion 8 screwed within the barrel 4 and having its inner end flat, that is at right angles to the aXis of the stem so that when the said part is screwed to closed position it presses closely against the gasket 7 forming a perfect seal. Said part also comprises an outer portion 9 closing the valve.

This second part of the valve is provided Y with a longitudinal hole 12 extending from the outer end inwardly to a point short of ythe inner end, and with a radial hole 13 from the passage 12 through one side of the threaded part 8. Thus when the two parts are screwed to closed position the passage 1%-13 is entirely out of communication with the passage 5 and it is impossible for lvided with a spotted or kiiurled periphery for manual engagement iii opening and,

air to pass through the valve; but, when the parts are screwed to open position as shown in Fig. 2 the end of the outer member of the valve is removed from the gasket 7 leaving a space between the gasket and the inner end of the outer member of the valve. This permits the air to pass through the passage 12-13 and thence through the pas sage 5 to inflate the object withwhicli the valve is connected.

An important feature of the invention consists of means for preventing separation of the two parts. In the embodiment shown said means comprises a thickened part 14 formed on the outer end of the threaded barrel 4 after the two parts have been screwed together. When the threads of the portion 8 of the outer member of the valve contact with the'thick portionv 14"of the barrel unscrewing of the two parts is stopped. Thus, the part 14 forms an abutment or stop for the threads on the portion i l y 8 of the outer member of vthe valve, preventing separation of the valve parts, but. permitting sufficient movement thereof to open and to close the valve.

' My improved valve n is designed and adapted for various uses and is of convenient operation and simple construction. The

parts may be made of any desired strength or dimensions and may be varied in other particulars without departure lfrom the nature and principle ofthe invention. 1 do not restrict myself unessentially, but what I claim and desireto secure by Letters Patent is y .l

A valve comprising a member composed of a relatively large barrel having internall ico y threads, a relatively small stein extending the other end to a point near the inner end from one end of the barrel and having a and thence radially through the side therepassage therethrough openingv into the bar of, a flanged head near the outer end of 10 rel, and a flanged head near the end of the said second member, and an elastic gasket 5' stein; in combination With another mernseated against the inner end of said barrel ber having a threaded flat inner end screwed and engaging the threads of said barrel. into the barrel and having a passage from SELIG SIMON.
